FANTASTIC COURSE

I enjoyed this course. It was tough at times, but very interesting and I learned a lot. It is a very comprehensive course - so much course material is provided. Many helpful links to other articles / information to study was also provided. Each assignment was quite specific and focused on the most important aspects of teaching the English language - I found parts of the assignments quite difficult, but once you get your head around it, it wasn't difficult to do. All the online videos are also a great source of study material or for extra help if you are stuck. I can't wait to start teaching!

What was your funniest moment?
Can't remember any funny moments.
Pros
  • Lots of knowledge and information provided.
  • Lots of support provided.
What other participants should know
  • Take your time and work through it thoroughly! There is a lot to process.

A Helpful and Informative TEFL Learning Experience

Completing my Level 5 TEFL course was a valuable and rewarding learning experience. The course helped me develop a better understanding of teaching English as a foreign language, lesson planning, teaching methods and the importance of adapting lessons to suit different learners. I gained useful knowledge that I hope to apply in my future teaching career. I particularly appreciate the opportunity to learn at my own pace and work towards a qualification that will help me pursue my goal of teaching English online. Overall, I am glad I completed the course and look forward to putting my knowledge into practice!

TEFL course review

This course was very informative and if you are looking to broaden your teaching career it is definitely worth it. Each unit was clearly explained with well structured context and follow up information. When doing assignments all the relevant information guides you to deeper understand you lesson and imagine how a lesson plan comes together. The website is well developed and all units are easy to find. Having done this course I am more confident in my skills to teach and will continue to use resources learnt in this to help me in the future.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve racking moment was when I had to submit my first assignment and selected the wrong file to be submitted. I went into a panic but the staff at TEFL was so considerate and helpful, they immediately assisted and I alwas able to resubmit my assignment no problem.
Pros
  • Confident in planning lessons
  • More knowledgeable about diverse classrooms
  • Knowledge has been sharpened in regards to theEnglish language.
What other participants should know
  • Teachers
  • Stay at home parents
  • Students still studying

Best decision of my life

I've been wanting to do it but kept thinking im too old. But doing was so fulfiling, from one quiz to next I kept looking forward to thr next one. Yes assignments are demanding but feedback is comforting and very helpful for your resubmission, you are never alone. Tutors give the kind pf feedback to your assignments that makes you see exactly what you did wrong and how to make corrections. They are not strict instead they guide you well. Now that it's done i miss doing the assignments and concentrating on the quizzes. I completed within 3months Im proud.

What would you improve about this program?
Add phone call to tutor support. When i needed help i realy needed it st that moment. Waiting for the responsebwad killing me.
Pros
  • Its good for any age. Im an experienced teacher but it opened my thinking.
  • It introduces experienced teachers to new ways of teaching.
  • Opens you to the whole world pf possibilities.
What other participants should know
  • Tutor support is not imidiately.
  • No walk in centre
  • No Job place

Important About Level 5 TEFL Program

I finished this program about 5 months. My favorite thing I enjoy was the assignments and my 2nd favorite was the long videos. When I need help, I always communicate with a tutor for assistance. They were very helpful with any issues and questions I had. I would recommend people take their time with assignments because it is a lot of work. The long videos was useful to help me see you how ESL teacher teach the learners. It is a blessing now that I have an opportunity to teach oversea and apply to certain jobs online.
